The distributive property connects two different operations - for example, addition and multiplication. In this case:a(b+c) = ab + ac

Here is an example with numbers:

7(10+2) = 7x10 + 7x2

If you were thinking about other combinations of operations, I suggest you try out a few examples, whether both sides are equal or not.

How do you use distributive property?

The distributive property of multiplication over addition is x*(y + z) = x*y + x*zIt is used in multiplication through chunking.For example, to calculate 4*56, you can break up the 56 into 50+6.Then4*56 = 4*(50 + 6) = 4*50 + 4*6 = 200 + 24 = 224.


What is distributive law for multiplication?

The distributive law for multiplication states that for any numbers (a), (b), and (c), the expression (a \times (b + c)) can be expanded to (a \times b + a \times c). This law demonstrates how multiplication distributes over addition, allowing for easier computation and simplification of expressions. It is a fundamental property in algebra that is widely used in various mathematical operations.


What is the distributive property of 16 x 102?

As it stands, 16*102 has no distributive property. The distributive property is a property that multiplication has over addition. It is, therefore, necessary for the question to have a multiplicative components and an additive component.So, if you chose to write 102 as (100 + 2) then the question becomes16*(100 + 2)and THEN the distributive property can be used to express that as16*100 + 16*2You could, equally go for(10 + 6)*102 = 10*102 + 6*102Or split either number into any other convenient form of addition.
